    I would like to start off and say I have never posted a negative review, however I would like to share my experience with Rio Gardening, so everybody can make an informed decision. The day prior I sent videos of our garden in order to get an estimate and had a pleasant phone conversation where we both agreed that a good communication is important. He made an offer next day morning and I accepted. Then things started to unravel. He is sending me pictures of tree service that I never asked for, but won't answer the question if he could start next week. I declined the tree service and asked when he will be able to start the regular service, so we can talk in person about our needs. He then proceeds to get really mad and told me that he won't know his schedule till he is back in front of his computer (which is absolutely fine and could saved us the whole misunderstanding if he had mentioned that right in the beginning) and that I should be looking for someone else. I have no idea why he blew up like this and can only assume that not going for the upselling might be part of the reason. Rios Gardening acted rude, completely unprofessional and really don't understand how to communicate. I have attached the complete unaltered and unabridged conversation so you can be the judge.

    I can not say enough great things about Victor and his crew. Absolute awesome results. Victor did some work on our large old tree. Cleaned everything as if they were never there. Then later the same day, we had two additional large branches break and were endangering the roof of our home. I called Victor and he came back and again with his crew took care of everything. Very reasonable pricing and highly professional. I can not recommend him higher and he is now my go to company for managing my trees. Thank you Victor!

    Once again Rios Gardening did an excellent job trimming my hedge, my oleanders, and even planted some flowers for me. They will remain my go to gardeners and were reasonably priced. Thank you!

    Responses are super fast and reasonable price! Arrived on time. Did excellent work on my backyard getting out all the small trees and bushes. Came with tools and very efficient. They also help fixed my watering/irrigation tube. Now my backyard is all clean for new plants!! Oh they also helped plant my avocado baby! Definitely recommend them!

    Weeds before
    Peace for U.

    My yard was overtaken by weeds because of the heavy rain. Rios garden was quick to respond with a fair quote and scheduled and showed up on time. They did an excellent job and were very thorough in their work and explaining what would be done. I would definitely use them again.

    Cleaned backyard.

    Rios and his team member did an amazing job on cleaning my front yard & backyard, trimming the trees and fixing the sprinkler system. They provided high-quality and high-efficient services. They are very responsible and easy to communicate. We are very satisfied and happy. We will definitely use them for maintaining our front yard and backyard again.

He…read morefound a few things wrong with it (valve stuck in off position, etc) but ultimately we realized it was beyond repair due to its age. He didn't charge me for his time, but did give me a quote to install a professional system as well as expand coverage to the entire back yard. His quote was reasonable / competitive, and I was lucky to get quickly scheduled. He and his crew came out and in a couple days were able to install a brand new Hunter system with sprayers and multiple drip lines. Despite having to trench through my yard, when they were done it looked as good as new. They took special care around existing landscaping and did not damage anything during the installation process. It's been a few months now, and the system is working great. Grass is green and plants are blooming. Sherman is easy to work with and super responsive. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and I'm sure you will be too.

Within 15 minutes he was able to solve our main issues: a front sprinkler that was blasting the driveway for no reason, and plants dying because the zones were only running one minute, twice a week. He turned off the driveway head, reprogrammed every zone to fifteen minutes four days a week, and flagged a sprinkler head sitting right at the trunk of our acacia that needed moving. He also taught me how to use the system, which I didn't buy or install originally. Really appreciate his help and will contact again for all my system needs and questions. Incredible value for the services rendered.

I was surprised my call was answered & thrilled that Gerado said he would be in my area in an hour or so & could take a look. When he arrived he gave me a quote & said he could repair it now. Everything was in good repair & done at a very reasonable price. A week later late in the evening I noticed another section had begun showing some seeping at the popup heads & figured to check it in the morning. Next morning to my surprise I received a text from the water co that my smart meter had alerted them to a continuous flow. I went right to work & saw I had a valve problem. I thought I could handle the repair on my own following some you tube advice, I replaced the top of the valve body. Long story short I was unsuccessful & couldn't stop the ebb. I called Gerado who determined possibly because my original valve was over 16 years old there could be some minor variance to the molding process or I purchased a defective valve. We agreed to replace the entire valve assembly. Gerado who returned again on Sunday with a new valve installed the valve in short order. Immediately all was back to good working order. I cant say enough about the great service I received from Dicks & master technician Gerado. Don't hesitate to call them for your irrigation system needs you wont be disappointed.

They ruined and broke numerous branches while admitting that these plants are very delicate. They rushed the job that should have been at least two hours and finished in one hour. I should have stopped them after the owner told me to go inside and they will let me know when they were done. You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE.

I got a couple of quotes through Yelp, but ultimately decided to go with Kay Green -- and I'm so glad I did. It took Young and his crew about a day and a half to complete the project. I live in a townhouse community, and they were very respectful of the shared space. They did an excellent job cleaning up the carport area they used for their equipment and materials. We ran into a few unexpected issues during the project, but Young was always upfront about what was happening and communicated his solutions clearly. His recommendations were thoughtful and turned out great. I would definitely use Kay Green again for any future landscaping projects and will happily recommend them to family and friends!
